Not everything is related to skin color Jesus. The world isn’t so black and white.

This is from page 26 of A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

Check the “All” page on the big Lemmy instances, it’s undoubtedly very left-leaning. This whole thread is a testament to that.

Yeah, it’s a shame that people can’t be more civil and respectful to each other.

Have you seen all the comments on this thread?

Instead of answering the OPs question, 100+ people are just bashing him for thinking differently, saying stuff like “Well, why are you conservative in the first place? Conservatism is so stupid! People on the right are evil, monsters, etc.”

This left wing echo chamber is already very hateful and against any differing opinions.

The exact same thing can be said for liberal communities. It becomes a hivemind where dissenting opinions are not allowed.

Take the Hunter Biden laptop story for instance. So many websites and communities outright banned it from being discussed or posted because they didn’t like the optics of it. Facebook banned it, the top subs on reddit banned it.

Only very recently has CNN decided to treat it as news, after lying about it constantly on air for months saying it was fake. That’s censorship of information. The left regularly spread misinformation like “the laptop story is a Russian hoax”.

Both sides do this.

The way you’re framing it seems disingenuous. You act like only people on the right lie and spread misinformation (and they do!). It feels like you’re making a childish jab at the right because you don’t like them.

Left-wing people and right-wing people both lie to you plenty, because political leanings have nothing to do with it.

I’m not claiming the piece itself is truthful, but you’ve got your head deep in the sand if you think the right wing is the only group lying to you, while the left & everyone else is truthful.

Someone’s political beliefs aren’t indicative of how well they can form an argument. People can misrepresent data regardless of their political leanings, this whole talking point in the comments is irrelevant.
